Another Kindle:
I don’t take my Kindle everywhere, but it has gotten a lot of use, especially when i know I’m going to have to sit and wait somewhere. (Like at the hospital.) Susan and Meredith have used it a little, as has my niece Kay and my mother-in-law, and it looks like we’re getting another Kindle in the family.
In short, Susan is getting a large chunk of back pay that she got whoopsied out of by the office, enough to pay for a bunch of things-that-would-really-be-good-to-have, and on that list is a *new* Kindle DX for me, and then I hand over the Kindle 1 to the ladies of the house.
Which is fine. I regularly back up the contents of my Kindle to my PC and then burn a disk for the ultimate backup. I’m also aware of the Memory Hole incident, where the publishers of Orwell’s books pulled them off the Kindle store, and Amazon went back in and deleted the copies of 1984 and Animal Farm remotely.

I’m not sure how I shift the books or subscriptions over to the DX, but I have a little time to figure it out.
